Default show us ya melted pistons !!!!, wanna compare em

showya piccys of ya melted pistons and the reasons for it too ( ie:top speed running, backed off and melted due to fuel, or melted due o too much ignition for the fueling ect ect ect)

cheers as i wanna discover why a engine we got has melted 2 pistons , its not a fueling issue as theres no pin pricks, just melted on the side a bit

not that great achivement either
